As we stepped into the stadium with excitement, we heard a massive roar from all sides of the stadium from the onlooking crowd and lights suddenly turning on as we made our appearance further and further into the middle of the stadium where our fight was going to take place.
“GOOOOO YOUNG MISS~!” “DESTORY THAT BRAT” Roared the crowd
“Oh my, they look up to you quite a bit huh.”
As I turned to look at Persephone waiting for some kind of reply, I saw her red bright red with embarrassment.
“Geez, those fools what am I gonna do with them.”
In the middle of the stadium, a man suddenly appeared and bright lights shined on him as soon as he made his appearance. He looked like he was also a member of the demon race but…. Flashier looking. He was wearing a big black and white stripped top hat, pants, and shirt to match them and some fancy looking Ray-Ban look alike glasses. A loud noise echoed through the stadium and the crowd went silent.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the arena of life and death! I am your host Z and I’ll be commentating todays fight!”
[Crowd] “YEAH~! Today’s fights gonna be epic~! Z! Z! Z!”
“Ok, ok everyone calm down because it’s nearly time for all the excitement to begin~! On our left we have the one and only, our beloved young miss”
[Crowd] “Yeah! Go young miss~! Smash that brat~!”
“And on our right we have… The human who thinks he can beat our young miss…. Uhh, hey kid what’s your name?”
An awkward silence suddenly filled the stadium.
“Haha, oh right I’ve never introduced myself”
Shit I need a name, I have never had to use one until now…. Umm, a good name, a good name.
“Uhh, my name is… Benimaru”
I felt a sense of pride of my quick decisions to choose the name Benimaru when placed on the spot. About 30 seconds after replying to her, I heard a ding in my head. Ding! You have chosen username Benimaru, would you like to officially choose this as your name? It felt a bit awkward but I replied in my head yes unsure if it would work or not. The name Benimaru, has officially been chosen as your username.
“Nice to meet you Benimaru. Benimaru~~! Give this brave young man a warm welcome to the stage!”
I heard many voiced as the man Z announced me to the stage, it was almost deafening.
“Yeah! Try your best boy! You can do it!” [Crowd]
Once again, Z continued his job of commentating the match
“Ok now to explain the rules of today’s fight. The fighters may choose any weapons or none if they wish, the fight will continue until either one of them announces that they surrender or are unable to continue the fight and finally… The loser must obey to the 3 of the winner’s conditions.”
“So boy do you have any weapons you wish to use”

“Nah, I prefer to fight without weapons, well at least most of the time.”
“Hahaha, I’m starting to like you more and more every time I talk to you boy.”
“Well I’m glad I’m not the only one.”
“Ok everyone are you ready for this battle to begin”
“YEAH! DESTROY HIM YOUNG MISS! YOU CAN DO IT BOY! YEAH!” [Crowd]
As I stood their waiting for the signal for the fight to begin I could feel my breath intensify and heartbeat gradually increase from all the suspense and excitement for the soon to start fight.
“FIGHT!”
At that moment, Persephone and I dashed into each other’s directions at the speed of lightning.
“I’m impressed boy, to be able to keep up with me even when I’m going at this speed”
“This is nothing for me”
I could not help but grin from fighting Persephone, an opponent who really got my blood pumping with excitement and thrill.
“Well boy, how about we knock it up a notch, after all we both know this is nothing for us and well you don’t want to disappoint the crowd now do we.”
“Exactly what I was thinking.”
Shortly after Persephone and me, once again we doubled our speed in the middle of the fight. At this point only, the pros that were present at the arena were able to tell what was occurring during the fight.
[30 minutes later]
We were both still engaged in an intense fight but were still bursting with energy.
“Is that a grin I see on the one and only leader of the proud demon race?”
“Hahaha, well can you blame me, this is the most fun I’ve had in a long time~!”
“Does that mean you’ll join me?”
“Don’t get too cocky boy, you have to beat me first.”
I could feel my heartbeat once again increase from the excitement of meeting someone who was similar to me.
“This just makes me want you to join my party even more”
“Glad to hear boy, but like I said you have to beat me first.”
Once again, the battle became more intense because of me and Persephone, increasing the speed and strength output during the battle.
“How about we go all out to see who really is the strongest. How about it boy?”
“Sounds good to me.”
Persephone face showed a smile of thrill, excitement and too be honest it looked a bit scary though that didn’t manage to affect me in fact it just helped me confirm she was a bit of a battle junky like me.
Persephone and I went in to go punch each other. As soon as our fist reached each other, the ground shook and broke apart in an instance from the aftershocks from our fist. It was also like an earthquake. Not too long after the delayed sound from the fight was also heard echoing around the stadium, Bang! The crowd was sitting in shock and awe from the events of our fight, after all no one was able to last this long especially when Persephone was using full strength.
“Feeling a bit tired are ya boy?”
“What are you talking about I could go all day. Aren’t you the one looking a bit tired Persephone?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, this is nothing.”
I could tell we were both beginning to lose our strength at a fast pace, we were equally matched. We both knew we had to finish this off with the next move or we would lose. As we both went at each other knowing this would be out last move during the fight we put the most strength and speed we possibly could into our technique in hoping we would finish each other off.
“Get ready boy.”
“That what I wanted to say to you.”
As we finally reached each other the stadium, shook like an earthquake was occurring just like last time but a lot more powerful, it also had a much more deafening sound to it this time. So much so that some of the high-class members that were present during the fight had to create a barrier to reduce the damage and protect the crow. However even that was only able just enough to last even though it was 50 of the best members that created the barrier to contain the blast. A massive cloud of dust covered the results of the aftermath of the fight. The crowd stood their silently staring waiting to see what the results were.
“What happened? Who won?” [Crowd]
Eventually the dust dispersed and revealed the result… Both Persephone and I had fainted. It was a draw. It was a major shock that no one present expected not even the commentator Z.
“Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see… Uhh the match has ended in a draw leaving now winners.”
The crow was dead silent for around 2 minutes until one man started clapping and cheering what caused a chain reaction like effect.
“That was the best match I’ve seen! Nice job boy! Young miss you were awesome today! Yeah!” [Crowd]
All that was too heard was cheering of praise from the crowd.
Some medical teams ran down to the stadium and retrieved Persephone and I and rushed us to the medical ward to ensure that our lives were not in danger. After confirming we were all right, they left us to rest and recover in their medical ward.
